Jacking and Stand point?

Hey all,
Do you guys know where the exact jacking point at the front of the car is?
we found one, but it's not centre, so right side lifts up higher than the left side

Pics would be helpful too please

there is no jack point at the front or rear of the car, only the sides...

i wouldnt do it on the tow hook, could slip...

cross member with a piece of wood in between would be better...
though jack each side and use axle stands is best

Thanks guys,
Would you jack each side all the way up initially, or would you do half way on one side, then the other etc?

What about the two rails going down the middle of car? Or the mounting points of the centre member?
