What is your budget?

If you modify the engine now, you will void any manufacturer warranty on the car.

Iridium plugs are only needed if you are running NOS and are dumping fuel into the engine.They are very expensive.For eg a platinum plug for the M800 costs 200 while the Iridium one costs Rs650.

I have used NGK Gpower(platinum) and NGK Iridium IX and have not found any difference.To get benefits out of Iridium, you need blaster coils and you need good HT cables.

According to the NGK India website the platinum plug for your DIO is CR6HGP.

I could not find any specs for it.

The Iridium one is CR6HIX.The specs for these are available on the US website
Plug Specifications
Thread Size: 10mm
Hex Size: 5/8" (16mm)
Reach: 12.7mm (1/2")
Seat Type: Gasket
Gap: .028" (0.7mm)
Heat Range: 6
Terminal Type: Threaded Stud
Resistor: Yes
Thread Pitch: 1.0mm

I did a comparison between my Platinum and Iridium spark plugs and the only difference was the gap.The Iridium has lower gap compared to the Platinum one.You will need to adjust the gap anyway, check your owners manual for the same.

thanks for the info, I will definately contact the local dealer for the item.

Apart from the spark plug, will the FFE will help in any way.

I am not sure if you get a full FFE for a DIO, but as long as you drive normally even with an FFE there won't be any reduction in your FE.If you rev the engine hard to get the sound, your FE will drop.
