The correct jacking point is a few inches behind the back of the front wheels, where there is a lip at the bottom of the side skirt.
Are you using trolley jack? If so, go in a little further, where it's more flat.

Thats what I did before when fitting mudflaps but just wanted to check as I just assumed rather than checked the fountain of knowledge that is SN!
Spent all weekend going back and for to SN and my car with print outs of threads.

Have a think about this:
The 'side' jacking points are there only to use the jack supplied with the car. Using a trolly jack will flatten them, and you cannot (safely) use the side areas again.
The correct jack points are:
Front: engine cross member; a bolted on pleate is there ready and able to take the trolly jack.
Rear: put the trolly jack under the rear diff, it is actually shaped for the jack!

i had my new tyres fitted last week and the dude jacked up on a cross beam support which seems to lead under the engine but it was behind the wheel arch area. Anyways, its bent a little bit now . Hope no harm is done!
