Planning to change my wheels on my mk2f coupe, car is too low to get under the sill jacking points, are there any alternative points on the car I can safely jack from?

Rear axle is strong. 

Rear beam mount point.

 

At the front drive or roll car onto a plank to give you clearance for the jack.

 

Consider a low entry jack (eg Clarke) if you intend doing lots of front end work. Draper do an inflatable bag jack. You might want to invest in one for puncture underway.

No good when engine does not work as driven by exhaust gases! 

 

And never rely only on a jack if any part of you will be under the car like a dropped wheel nut - retrieve it with a stick.

. Get some axle stands. 1 to 2 tonne rating is fine for a little Polo.

Arb or arb mount, rear axel from the middle and get both wheels at the same time, use axel stands where the axel mounts the chassis to be safe 

 

Be careful jacking from the arb or mounts as it can slip off sudenly

Make sure in gear and chock the front wheels if you do this. There's no handbrake on a rear wheel to stop it rolling away 

Yeah i use my brick or reverse. This pic is the front frpm the other day

Very easy wood wheel ramps by MCM - they do some good stuff as well as entertain
