As theres no jack which comes with the car is this something that you can do yourself or not ?

Can you use a normal low level trolley jack and if so, where is the best jacking positions. Or is this something that should be left to the Dealer or your local tyre fitter. I've got some replacement wheels that I am looking to fit.

Cheers guys.

Use a low entry trolley jack at the point just in front of the rear wheel (careful as you lift it up as the angles can mean you catch the sill if you aren't careful - probably not an issue if you aren't on a GT3 etc). This will lift one side of the car so you can do a side at a time.

p.s. Obvious point, but remember to loosen the bolts off before lifting the car.
