cupra jacking point question

Hi folks,
the manual is being useless on this and I can't find any photos, so have taken one myself. Have I got the jack and the axle stand in the correct place here? Photo taken looking toward the front of the car ('01 cupra).

Wasn't sure as the point where the jack was has now recessed a few mm :confused:

f*cking hell no!

neither of those points are load bearing!

Try the great big bolt for the front wishbones for your axle stands.

and you should really be spreading the load of the jack with a piece of wood between it and the car. again you need to jack under something big and solid, not a squishy piece of floor pan.

How come there are four of those circular things with rubber covers almost in line with where the manual says to use the spare-tyre-jack ? They fit the trolley jack nicely...
