I found these illustrations of the Jack points for a standard beetle. Are they the same positions for a super beetle and is there an illustration for that?

The term “jack point” is a catch-all for lifting the car. There are dozens of jack points on a beetle/super beetle depending on what job you are doing. The lifting devices will also be different, so let us know what you have and what you’re working on. A four-point lift, drive-on lift, floor jack, bottle jack, and factory/onboard jack will all do different things.
What are you trying to do?

| For the stock jack it's the square tubes under the running boards. |

Potentially for having the wheels powder coated and having all four wheels removed and done at the same time. I wondered if I could give a chart to make sure they place it in the correct areas (although not sure how they will be lifting the car) |
