Has anyone used these coils?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Similar but slightly different markings with SBF05-R
This will make you smile my angled ones I have just noticed are marked SBF05 not only is there no "R" but the NGK branding is also painted white wtf?
The straight caps have a pair of slots moulded in - presumably to fit a tool for pulling off the caps - my angled ones do not but being angled easier to remove without pulling on the HT lead.
Might be I have two genuine & two aftermarket - a Guru here will know! ;D ;D ;D

Thanks, this explains why I cant find genuine angles ones without the NGK painted white, I have emailed DS!
beardylondon:
DS came back and said these two are genuine NGK and obviously one has the NGK painted white

They are called aftermarket because they are different to the original fitment. Original plugcaps had those horrible metal shrouds which shorted like crazy when it rained. Were original caps supplied by Nippon Denso?
DSS wouldn't sell fake NGK plug caps deliberately, I'm sure. EBay sellers are a different matter. 🤔
