I thought the manual only had jacking points?
I ended up just using my trolley jack on one side and a scissor jack on the other. I didnt want to damage anything or have an axel stand go through the body.

The best place for the front is really the chasis rails which are the box sections about ten inches in from the side of the car.
you can see these in the picture, the box sections near the front going out at a slight angle towards the front and positioned in front of the two triangular bits which you shouldn't use. For the rears I usually position my stands underneath the springs but I've had fashioned some wooden blocks with a rubber face that sit over the metal top of the stands.

Have you been polishing underneath too Hoolio? :wink:
Ha Ha. That's quality Jules, but you might find your pants get soiled during the accident. Just keep it the right way up!
Sorry Benoj, this is a good thread. Its always a worry where to place the stands. My jacking points are a mess too :?
