The left side of the motor should be pretty straight forward, there is plently of room to get the socket and wrench in without any problems. The right side of the motor will be a little bit more of a challenge, however, not impossible or even that difficult. The front two plugs on the right side are covered with soft lines that run from the EGR valve and to and from the A/C drier but these can be easily moved out of the way just by pushing them, they won't need to be moved far, just far enough so you have room to get a wrench in there. The rear two plugs on the passanger side however are a little more difficult. In fact you can barely even see the rear plug from the top. The best way to replace these two plugs is from under the car. You should have enough room to get to these two plugs from underneith. Plugs and wires look like a hard task on this car but it is actually pretty easy.
I have recently done this on my 2000 WS6. The above answer is correct concerning the drivers side. Pretty easy to get at. The passenger side however...not so much. Unless you are 110 lbs with pencil thin arms, trying to get at number 8 plug from underneath around the cat is going to be tough. I have found the best way is to remove the air line off of the exhaust manifold. 2 -10mm bolts. Then remove the 5 bolts from the coil pack ( also 10mm), disconnect the wire assembly and remove the whole coil pack. Now by laying across the top of the engine you can get at 2,4,6,8 plugs pretty easy. Just reverse the process to reinstall. Once you get the pack off...about a 20 min job.
