Default Spark plug question

Thinking of changing my spark plugs at the weekend – as the old girl is getting a bit lazy on start up. I have 2001 Bugeye Wrx – I assessing the job yesterday and from what I can see, you have to do the following :- remove the washer bottle and probably battery on the right hand side – on the left remove the air box. Then when you look down to where the plug are suppose to be there looks to be a bolt with a small black box next to it – I take it you undo the bolt and the black box come off – and the plugs are hidden behind these?
Can anyone tell me if I am correct?
Plus can anyone answer the following questions:-
does anyone know the size of plug socket I need ?
Are there any pit falls I need to know about?
And what should I expect to pay for a set of plug – not fancy ones just normal ones?

Yes I did do a search first - but that link does not tell me which bits to undo - still need to know if once the bolts are undone - are the plugs behind the black plastic boxes and do they just pop off once the bolts are out.

No need to disconnect washer bottle, just undo bolt, unplug power connector and providing it's not too full lift it up onto the suspension turret (may need to tie in place).

be carefull when you pull coil off plug , they are made of plastic and break easy. £58 per coil - not cheap.
seen a set of ngk- pfr7b on flebay for £35 free p+p
