Looks pretty ropey, how old? Age/mileage?
Where did you buy replacements?

Need to do mine soon based on age, was it expensive?

dead easy to do yourself just on axle stands, a plug spanner and a 5mm hex is all you need, oh and a 10mm socket to take the inner wing guards off
I fitted new beru ones come to about 170 quid or so, with new plugs probably 200-210 all in if you do them yourself

I took my wheels off which helped with access didnt remove any of the wing liners though. I did find I there wasn't much space to get a normal ratchet & 5mm bit in so used one of the 1/4 hex bit adaptor ratchets you can get (maybe this is where removing the liner helps but I already had the small ratchet mentioned). Make sure you clean the heads of the allen bolts out before you try to undo them aswell. I replaced all my bolts too (12 M6 x 30?mm Allen Head).
Really easy to do & not expensive at around £25 per coil.

taking the liners off , they are only help by 2 10mm plastic screw things, really helps with access
