picture of underside of car \ jacking points &axle stand

I have taken a picture of the front of the underside of my car (dads car) a mk4 golf. The metal shield is a sump plug shield which was replaced as the old one was a plastic one not very good at protecting should it be whacked.

So basically where can I jack up from and put axle stand in moron terms. Feel free to use the photo and draw circles where they apply as I don't know what everything is called on the underside.

I was wondering what the big gromit thing is on the right side of the picture ?

Appreciate and input of relevance :)

That's the best bodge I've seen in a long time, you can buy S-Steel Sump Guards that match the original bolt holes without having to use 1/2 inch thick steel plate & 15mm bolts.

It will be interesting to see it lighting up all those speed bumps & ripping out those 3 rear bolts
