As well as the sills, on my previous car (E Class) there was also a single front Jacking Point where you could lift the whole front of the car (both wheels) if side access was awkward for whatever reason. Is there any location like that on the fabia Mk2? Or any part on the chassis/frame that could be used to do it? 

 

Gonna have to do a cv joint on the street and want the car close to the kerb obviously but need access for a rolling floor jack. Thanks 

Maybe a different situation with front wheel drive cars as your E Class would have had a section of subframe that "went across" the body of that car.  You can get crossbeams that fit on top of some trolley jacks, they do sound like being a bit unstable but if all your going to be doing is to get the front of the car up high enough to slip stands under each of the front jacking points, then with care, that would work.

 

Always a bit tricky if you need one side at a raised kerb though.

 

Edit:- I am meaning that the crossbeam would get located across/between 2 strong points.
