Axle stand points on a 12c?

[AndM]

I want to get all four wheels off my 12c for repainting so will need to employ axle stands.

Im well aware of the jacking points on the car but does anyone know how or where to locate axle stands on a 12c? Obviously keen to avoid any damage to suspension components etc.

"Hoovie" jacks one up in one of his videos, I'd make sure you get some decent jacking pads

very helpful thanks. It looks like that larger carbon area all around the marked jack point is safe enough. Looks like it would be ok to jack it up a little away from the sticker and place the stand close by on the same broad area.

I`d double check with someone who knows but I have been told you need to jack the car across an axle both sides simultaneously...something to do with unbalancing the hydraulics, but it could be cobblers of course...my car has been airborne before now and whilst it landed flatly, what would happen if one wheel grounded first...would the hydraulics become unbalanced...I doubt it.

Yep, complete cobblers, either side is fine.
