Need some help if anyone could provide pictures of Jacking points on my Alfa 4C. Ran over an ugly nail in my rear tire. Managed to drive it home as it was not leaking. I would like to remove it and bring to the dealer, but Don't want to use the emergency kit if I don't have too. I've seen some pictures online, but I find they are not that great. I just want to make sure before I jack it up. Any feed back would be much appreciated. Thanks

Along the rocker panel you will find an arrow that shows the location of the jacking point.

Follow along that line directly inboard towards the center of the car (it's a lot further in than you would think). You will find a rectangular area where the engine under tray is missing and you can see composite reinforcing ribs and a few bolt heads. That is the rear jacking point.

I strongly recommend a rubber jacking pad or hockey puck between your jack and the body. Just using a jack could scratch things up, although structurally it would be fine.

Thanks For your reply, I see where I think the jacking point is. If uploaded a picture, would you be able to confirm the jacking point. I just don't want, to screw it up for a stupid nail. Thanks

The rear jack point has a waffle like texture. That's the only place you can safely lift the rear from.

The front is much easier. Yes, there is a bump under the car that is the official jack point. But, you can safely lift the front anywhere that is carbon fiber. There is only 1000 pounds at the front axle. Yes, I've lifted my 4C many times.

The hockey pucks make very nice tools. I think mine were $5.00 each at Big 5.
