I managed to do it and i definately aint no mechanic...
On passenger side, had to remove windscreen washer tank (balanced it on body near fuse box) and battery.
On Driver side had to remove air filter and housing...
After that its just a matter of fiddling around, removing plug wires and trying to unscrew/insert plugs. Before fiting new plugs, I think you're supposed to lube the threads with some special grease, I got some from halfords in their Spark Plugs section.
Definately worth doing yourself as I found it quite rewarding when finally got it done...
Took me around 2 hours first time (before anyone takes the p1$$, i mentioned above i aint no mechanic). Back was a bit saw when i finished too.

I changed mine last week UK MY97.
I put the front of the car up on ramps, removed the plastic tray under the engine (which you have to do if you are changing the oil filter) and then changed the plugs from underneath.
