Ford spark plugs question

I've just bought a new set of plugs from ford for the wife's gti.
Just wanted to know if they come gapped to the right size as the gaps look big but are all the same on all 4
And does anyone know the right gap so I can check
Thanks

Have you not got the handbook? If so look in there.

WS gaps are pretty big.

GTI sounds like you have the Zetec 1.8i 16V.
If so Ford replaced the original platinum plug AYFS22F1 with 1mm gap for the non-platinum AYFS22CB with bigger 1.3mm gap. Should work although when placed in a Focus the higher voltage for this gap can cause to break the coil.
So for safety bring it back to 1mm.
