If you look about halfway down on the sides of the block you will see them, they have coil packs on and you will see a wire coming off each one
Ive only ever had to change coil packs on the passenger side and removing the washer bottle was easy enough access wise.

Not familiar with the concept and shape of a flat four engine? 
Look what google found:
2 on left hand side 2 on right hand side, yes, way down there.
If it's got individual coil packs, don't twist or bend them trying to remove or re-insert them. There is ceramic insulation inside and they do crack under stress causing missfires under load. Plus they aren't cheap
Remove airbox on one side for better acess, get a child to do the other side.
A good flexy u-j, some extension bars of varios length and a good rubber insert in your spark plug socket is a must (remove rubber insert when replacing plugs, as the plug socket will probably get stuck on the plug when you remove it).
