Boxster spark plugs

Where do I put this spare bolt? Good old technical help and advice from those in the know?

Boxster spark plugs

Any recommendation?

Std bosch vs beru vs ngk or denso iridium / platinum ones. Are the later worth it?

Having to replacing the lot plus coil packs as misfiring badly at low revs.

Don't Porsche fit Beru as standard?

Thanks - I have spare so will check it at the same time.
Spark plugs not been changed by me and the car hadn't had a service in 20K miles and however many years before I owned it.
Coil packs are in a state - all the plastic outer has cracked and fallen off and the metal underneath gone rusty.

I'm pretty impressed by the Porsche engineering / ability to take hours of full throttle / high rpm abuse.

Bet I have a longer winter list though :-)

Thanks
