    I don't know who manufactures the OE plugs, but my personal preference would be NGK.

      Price sounds about normal to me.

        NGK could be a little bit more affordable, around €13 each here. I would go for the OEMs though if possible. You can of course ask the part number and search for a better deal.

          Boughed some from citroen when i first got the car. They were ngk's and cost around 60 euros. So price seems right. Now running denso and they seem to be doing a better job, but can't really tell...

            Just seems expensive to me, I'm used to getting my employee discount from Vauxhalls so only normally pay a couple of quid each for them, what about the service kits on ebay for the THP anone used these, I can get the oil from work so that's not a problem.

                Those would be basic Copper plugs - the long-life Platinum plugs specified for the THP engines cost significantly more.

                  Not just THPs, my VTi has platinum plugs also.

                        Get some from autodoc or misterauto. They're cheap, well depends really. Or try ebay. Been buying more from ebay as it is the cheapest if you put some effort into it.

                          Bought my NGK ones from eurocarparts.com (product# 408994260). They're £16 each before you put a discount code in, from the banner at the top of the page.
