Putting my car on blocks

Hi guys

two quetsions for you.

1 - do you think i should get my oz alloys on my cupra R powered coated anthracite as they are starting to show a bit of lacqure coming off and think that this colour would suit them.

2 - if i was to take all my alloys off, where would be the best place under the car to keep her jacked up on blocks of wood? pics would be great.

thanks Ash

she is onvi yellow.

i already have some axle stands, is it just the case of jacking up each side and placing one under the axel on each side, just a bit scared of it just sitting there resting on just little stands for a week

not quite....

but it's all up in the air at the moment (and will be until it's in little bits) but I jacked the front up, then did the rears.

at least with the ibiza you can lift it in the middle of the rear beam

Serious!! - why is it OK with the Ibiza?

I'am also unclear as to where the correct points to position axle stands are! without damaging the floor panels.

im doing it in my garage which has a concrete floor, found that my jack sinks into my drive when i jack her up.

Is any one able to take a pic of where to put the axle stands for the front and rear as i dont want to damage anything.

cheers
