I'm pretty sure they are the same for the 1.8 and the 1.8T (though I stand to be corrected), so..

These ones...

Or these ones...

I have tried both and found no difference in performance between the 2.

I've used NGK for years (prior to my diesels) and found them to be of excellent quality. However, be careful where you buy them....

Buyer beware...... springs to mind, as in all things, you get what you pay for ;);)

I've moved to NGK plugs recently, as the original items were becoming increasingly hard to find. Under £12 a set from myself for a K4:
Spark Plugs - K Series (http://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/oil-filters/products/champion-oem-spark-plugs-x4-all-k-series-200-400-25-45-75-zr-zs-zt-f-tf-nlp100290)

You can't beat a bit of hand crafted quality ;)

Wow, now that is depressing. It really highlights the importance of schemes such as Bosch's individually sealed and checkable via serial number MAF sensor packaging.
