From Haynes manual:

Engine codes DF and DG:
Ignition coil with green sticker, gap = 1.0mm
Ignition coil with grey sticker, gap = 0.8mm

Engine code EY or GW, gap = 0.7mm

Surely even with brand new plugs the gap needs checking

certainly does when carrying out service,

if ur plugs are 3 electrode type u cant set gap.
