Thanks and a pleasure Michael. I did add some tags but they are not showing up. There was no reference to it being a 500 so I found some Fiat 500 decals, look quite discreet, lol.

i wondered who bought 2.. i thought funkycowie might have made the plunge :D i have had one in the nexus for i think 7 months or so, pulled it out a couple of weeks ago and no deposits at all, looked the same as went in :D so i know it burns all the fuel, and the mid range torque is superb, and never ever misses a beat, a real pleasure to drive, and turns over when cold immediately and the tick over is unruffled, my nexus loves my set up and the free revving engine with the brisk plug , it just explodes rev wise to 7000 rpm if you want it to, with no loss of traction , it just surges forward... let me know your verdict once fitted, i tried putting the ngk back in but i took it back out within a day, banged back in the brisk as i was used to the fun it gave :D

I put them in as soon as I got the 500 but I took them out after a week and went back to the NGK's to see the difference. Also thought the cvt and clutch needed to settle in too. I will put them back after its first service tomorrow. Will keep you posted.

yes , scoot needs to be run in, i would say with a stock setup, the advantage would be no carbon deposit build up, start with a clean engine and keep it that way.. :D

That looks awesome :)

Btw, do you recommend to change the spark plug on the 350?

I did change the plug on the 350 and it gave a noticeable change. Instant ignition, no deposits on the plug and improved the torque.
