It only takes 5 minutes to jack it up and stick axle stands underneath....

Plus you then have the option to remove the wheels (something I always do anyway)

 

Absolute newb question here, but I presume the rear diffuser needs to come off to put the axle stands at the rear?

No you don't need to remove the diffuser, you put them under the lower rear wishbones (either where the balljoint is or where the suspension bolts on)

If you're taking the diffuser off, then it better to put them under the subframe where the rear most part of the wishbone bolts to the subframe.

How much are those and how would thay fare being left outside?

They cost £240.00

 

If you wish to leave them outside we do supply them powder coated for £60. They are very easy to disassemble and perhaps get powder coated yourself or simply paint with Hammerite etc.

Thats a nice idea! Any way to link the ramps, so you justt use one bottle jack to raise both ramps?

It would not be cost effective unfortunately.
