Hi guys,
I'm abit confused about where the jacking point is for my car. I have searched and read a few comments on forums but it doesn't explain it very clear on where to place the jack/jack stand

jack points for NA
I use a hydraulic jack and raise the front by loading at the centre of the crossmember just behind the sump, then the back by loading at the centre of the diff casing. I put the jack stands at the marked jacking points which are just inside the body seam running between the front and rear wheels; they have a rippled surface and are about 10cm or so from the wheel arch. Don't try to jack on the box section in the sills -- it crushes easily!

What he said, and
If you have a factory jack the points are just in front of the rear wheels, and just behind the front wheels. The groove in the jack fits over the seam running the length of the car. You can feel the right point with your fingers, it has extra strengthing at the right point.
Lastly the correct points should be in the owners manual.
