rear jacking points, inside the front arches, inside the rear arches where the crossmember for the fuel tank is, behind the rear lights (take the plastic covers off and have a poke)
underneath aswell where the "chassis rail" like things are.
behind the front bumper (almost impossile to check without taking off unless you look under the front arch with the wheels on full lock i think)
in the engine bay behind the suspension towers too.
engine support beam can get quite grotty aswell.
im pretty sure theres more,
welcome! 340pw
