Just fitted a set to the New Beetle 1.6, obtained from sparkplugs.co.uk - very prompt service & help, BTW - much recommended.
Results - much better low-rev pick-up compared to the factory-fit Bosch jobs, high-rev behaviour seems improved, too. Can't say it feels like there's any more power, but well worth £35, as they're cheaper than the Bosch jobs. And they last 60,000 miles!
Driving across Europe this week for some skiing, will let you know if the fuel comsumption imporves !

Look on e-Bay every now and again - they pop up cheap on there. I got a set of four new BKRIEX-11's for about £23 inc. P&P, they are normally £9 each.
Iridiums are good because firing electrode diameter is only about 0.6mm - fires at a much lower voltage and imposes less strain on HT components.

are these a good upgrade for any car...im always looking to improove my golf gti 16v
|

definately. Your Golf probably has Bosch like our Beetle. Biggest gains are at higher revs.

Just got back from 4000km of European driving with them in....
Result - noticeable fuel economy improvement, and performance felt a bit livlier, too. Given they only cost £35 for a set, and last 60k miles, very recommended !
