Car Ramps

I guess the only issue with the scissor ones there is that the sills are hidden by the drive-on plates... but I assume you can chock the car up on rubber before lifting it so you have some clearance?

That's very true... my way around this is I have some blocks of timber that I use to pop under the wheels, and a few more for under the sills/chassis.

When I replaced a sill on an MX5 recently, I took it up in the air, put the blocks under the wheels, lowered it, then put some 9 inch wood blocks under the chassis and onto the plates, and took it back up in the air. That way I had good access to the sill area to cut them off and replace them.
