Where are you guys getting your NGK 7s from? I've found them on Opie Oils but £45 seems a bit steep!

For future reference I got them from Euro Car Parts:

I cross referenced their SKU number with the one on their eBay advert that confirms these are BKR7EIX

£33.71 with UPS next day delivery

Ordered mine from here. £27,75 shipped to Finland and took about a week to get here.

Definetly carbon build up, but what has happened to the plug in the first pic. Perhaps some water getting in? I know another Cupra owner who had the same issue of water getting in.

I'd be concerned about that rusty plug. Water getting into the plug bores is responsible for the engine fires I hear about. :/

do you run without an engine cover? one of the centre cylinders (2 or 3, can't remember which) can accumulate water which soaks into the liner on the bonnet and drips into that cylinder if you run with the engine cover off. That might explain the rusty plug.

Since I wrote this review, I had the NGKs swapped for Nologys on vRSAlex's advice. He has since withdrawn this advice and fitted NGK 7s to my car. I can feel no perceivable difference between the 3, and my plugs looked nothing like yours after considerably longer use.

Had mine in for 2400 miles on stage 2 tune and look completely fine to me, car starts, idled and run like a dream.

I will be changing them for a fresh set for piece of mind n all that around September time just to stay on top of maintenance
