I was advised by Denso in the UK, Iridium VK not IK, maybey the Euro C43 is different.

none
I used NGK part # BKR5EY-11

NAPA carries them for about $2.00 each, don't let the price fool you, they are good.

They are not the iridium plugs just regular. However, they run perfect and from what I understand about things they are kind of a perfect plug. I personally think that the whole multi tip more is better idea is stupid. Not a fan of the platinums. The iridium plugs are great....I just went this route instead cause I will be 86ing the BKR5EY-11 's for a colder copper version once my car is force fed.

You can't argue, it's in black and white. I will double check with my supplier here, when i quoted IK16 for the C43 he said VK16 . I stand corrected.StapleGun.
