Just kidding!
Since you have a non-turbo engine:
The plugs are underneath that long rectangular black cover on the top of your engine. You should see 4 thick wires coming into the driver's side of that cover. These are the plug wires.
Remove the cover (held in with either 4 Torx-head or 10mm bolt-thread screws). Pull up on the first plug wire to your left. This is cylinder #1. Using a 5/8" spark plug socket with extensions long enough to reach down (or use the spark plug wrench supplied in the tool kit in the luggage area, pass. side behind a small black door), turn the plug counter-clockwise ("lefty-loosey, righty-tighty") until it comes out of the threaded hole. After inspection (and possible re-gapping if needed), re-insert the plug back into the threaded hole and tighten until snug. Place the plug wire boot over the top of the plug and press down until it "clicks".
Continue to do the above procedure ONE AT A TIME, so that you do not inadvertently mix-up the placement of the wires when re-installing them.
Best bet would be to put in a fresh set of plugs, unless you know the mileage on these is less than 15K miles. Always use NGK plugs. Look into the owner's manual for the correct plug and gap size (I do not know what the non-turbo cars use).
When finished, reward yourself with a fruit smoothie made with soymilk!!!
BTW: I also have a classic 900 (convertible) and take the wife and 2 small boys with me while we all are snacking on smoked tofu slices.
