How to lift the car ???

Can anyone give me advice on how to lift the car?
All attempts have failed miserably even if I have a very good low jack, I would like to lift it and get the 4 wheels off the ground

Thanks to all

First you need to drive the front tires up on a couple pieces of wood. 2"x10" will do, then you can get a jack under the center lift point to jack up the one side. Put jack stands at the two spots (check the manual for these locations). Now you can go to the other side and jack it up and place the stands.

I haven't had much luck with the blocks of wood, so I got a wheel jack/roller thing. It lifts one tire at a time, but gives enough room to fit my jack under the car.

Thanks smc4C, the problem is that I cannot find the center lift point, we can say on european car only front and rear lift point are clearly visible. Anyway to identify it?
Thanks for your help
I'd be concerned that the "center lift point" even exists on your car - perhaps the tub is not reinforced in those locations for a European car.

There are bottle jacks that have a built in jack stand, but their minimum height is way too tall for a 4C.

For the rear, you might be able to purchase and install the 4C Lift Kit from Inokinetic. But we've found that Australian cars don't have some of the required structure for this, so it is likely that the European ones are missing that as well (maybe someone here knows for sure).

You would probably be best served by purchasing a hoist such as the Quickjack or EZ Carlift. These will both lift and support the car.

Otherwise, you might need to go "off label" and raise the car from non-sanctioned lift points. There have been suggestions (I'm not advocating that this is safe to do - attempt at your own risk) of putting a 2x4 under the edge of the tub and lifting each side of the car from the centre that way, then lowering it onto jack stands. There are photos (and I think a video) of this being done, online, but it's up to you if you want to try it on your own car. Definitely don't just place a jack anywhere and start lifting, though!

This might help???

Or this (again, I'm not advocating it but maybe it provides you with some ideas):

The quickjack is a good piece of kit but not sure you have it in Italy. It lifts the whole car safely approx 2ft off the ground.

Many many Thanks. I'll try to identify the center lift point and finger crossed

This is a photo courtesy of Hornetball showing the lift points. I‘ve circled the centre lift points for you so you know what you’re looking for..

From front to rear
Just so I'm clear, the part of the car closest to the camera which has the 4 blue unmarked markings (which do not have the 2 green circles drawn on them) is closest to the front of the car or is the silver plate with the 2 blue markings on it closest to the front?

Sorry I didn't get it the first time and thank you for taking the time to answer/clarify my question.

The metal plate is at the rear of the car.

I stumbled to this awesome instruction on Youtube, and found this very helpful:

I also read the comments on the video and it seems no one thinks this is a dangerous approach that will damage the CF tub.
Only one puzzle is the jack points on this car in different years seems inconsistent, some cars have the extra padded jack points under the CF tub but some cars don't. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I have been thinking getting the QuickJack, to save some money, I think the QuickJack 3500 is enough to hold our 4C. Your thoughts?

You are correct. The design of the carbon tub varied depending upon the safety regulations of the target market. 4Cs exported to North America should have the full complement of jack points.
Some have modified (reduced) the height of the jack stands. What is the dimension for the ideal height of the jack stands ? Are the heights different for front & rear ?
