If you are just jacking up the car, use that rubber donut right in the middle
of your pic. Those donuts exist on both the front and back side of the car. Make sure that if your jack's cup is larger than the donut and might "pierce" the car when under pressure, that you put some wood in the top of the jack to make the cup less deep.
If you are using stands, that is a different story.

Re: If you are just jacking up the car, use that rubber donut right in the middle
you use those rubber donuts....on the front and the rear.... to jack the car....they are the hoist points....but once you jack the car, the question becomes where do you put the jack stands....those that fail this question could puncture the floor of their TT!!!!!
A lot of mods can be done with gorilla ramps...plastic low profile ramps..
Anyone... this may be one of the most important issues for the DIY that don't have a hoist?

Ok, here is what I do
Jack the car on the support arms...that is what I am calling them.. the things that connect the wheels to the car... they have a major connection near the jack points. Those hold the whole car up, so they must be strong enough. Then place the jack stand on the donut. Since the jackstand will be on the car much longer than the jack, I would say that is the way to go.
