It is written in document that "The grid is by default center aligned.".
However, the following code does not center the cell:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/material-components-web#latest/dist/material-components-web.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
</head>
<body>
<div class="mdc-layout-grid">
<div class="mdc-layout-grid__inner">
<div class="mdc-layout-grid__cell mdc-layout-grid__cell--span-4">
<div class="mdc-card my-card">
<div class="my-card__media mdc-card__media mdc-card__media--16-9" style="background-image: url('image.png');">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

</body>
</html>
The grid is by default center aligned
Yes, it is. The grid itself is centered (the red border), check below example. I think it is what a grid suppose to be. It define tiles and let you put component on it, so it is called grid.

<link href="https://unpkg.com/material-components-web#latest/dist/material-components-web.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/material-components-web#latest/dist/material-components-web.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
</head>
<body>
<div class="mdc-layout-grid" style="width: 512px; border:2px solid red;">
<div class="mdc-layout-grid__inner">
<div class="mdc-layout-grid__cell mdc-layout-grid__cell--span-8">
<div class="mdc-card my-card">
<div class="my-card__media mdc-card__media mdc-card__media--16-9" style="background-color: green">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you really want a cell center aligned inside a grid layout, let the cell span across all columns.
We are not sure what is going to be put on the grid, or how you want to organize the content, otherwise we may suggest other component that might fit your needs.

I've been trying to get my rows and columns to appear over my background image. I've been struggling with this for a while. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am also quite new to this so, if it is simple I've yet to find it XD

You can put image as background for your block using CSS. Inside your style.css file:
#about-us {
background-image: url('https://via.placeholder.com/1920x618.png');
}
There are also CSS properties to set background image position, size etc.
You can find more here
Edit: According to you comment if you want to achieve this design:
HTML:
<body>
<!-- Top image GTA, there is no text so it can be <img> tag -->
<div id="hero-img">
<img src="./yourimg.png" alt="">
</div>
<!-- About us section, with car in background -->
<div id="about-us">
<!-- Your regular columns and content -->
<div class="container-md">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-4 about-text-header">
One of two columns
</div>
<div class="col-4">
One of two columns
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
#hero-img{
/* to remove space between images, because car image has this wave and page background would be visable */
margin-bottom: -50px;
}
#hero-img img{
object-fit: cover;
width: 100%
height: 600px;
}
#about-us{
background-image: url('./yourCarImage.png');
background-position: center;
background-size: cover;
/* probably padding needed */
padding: 100px 0;
}
This should work in general, adjust it for your needs.

The output leaves a space as such on the left:
I have tried to replace the padding and tried various float options, but none of them seem to work. Any solutions?
You are using .container class, this is to create a centered container.
If you don't want this use .container-fluid class as detailed in the documentation:
Use .container-fluid for a full width container, spanning the entire width of the viewport.
If you don't want to use a container, then don't use a container at all.
.navbar-pink {
background-color: pink
}
.title-yellow {
background-color: yellow
}

If i got correctly, you are trying to remove spacing from this portion
see the arrow in the image
If this is the case, you can simply use bootstrap's css class "container-fluid" instead of "container".
The "container" class leaves paddings/spaces to left and right whereas,
the "container-fluid" class utilizes full width of the screen.
Here is the full code--

Please note, i have used bootstrap cdn.
I am using the Bootstrap 4 grid system, and want to float an aside down the right hand side of the screen.
Currently my MAIN content is wrapped in col-xl-3, I want the ASIDE to also use col-xl-3, but I want it to run the height of the page, not just the height of the row it is in, as it is currently pushing the height of the row out...
As you can see from the image, my aside is pushing the top row higher than the bottom...
All I have done code wise is this;
section.body article, section.body aside { float: left; clear: both; }
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I used "col-sm" but the principle is still the same. It's all about the nesting.
View in full page to see columns.

Hey there!, first post here, can anybody tell me why this won't work? i've simplified my code to the maximum. The thing is that it will work if i make my browser window smaller than 1200px.
The problem with your page is that you did not put in place all the structure required by bootstrap's grid support: columns should be in rows, rows should be in containers, see the bootstrap documentation for details.
The following modification of your code works as intended:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/c\
ss/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div style="background-color:grey" class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<h1>hello</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
(Technically the problem occurs because the "col-lg-12" class makes the div containing the "hello" a float, so it is no longer contained in the div with the grey background, and then the grey div has height 0, so isn't visible.)
Add the position or height attribute to the div
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div style="background-color:grey;position:absolute">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<h1>hello</h1>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
After finishing the entire layout of my webpage using twitter bootstrap (all rows are fixed) - I would like to set the width to be fixed, that is for the layout to stay the same regardless of the browser size.
That is, if the browser is too small, then only a part of the page will be visible.
My layout's structure is as follows
<body>
<div style="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="span12">
<div class="span4">
</div>
<div class="span8">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="span9"> </div>
<div class="span3"> </div>
</div>
</body>
I've tried making a div that contains the container, and setting its position to absolute, but this doesn't keep the elements from moving when the browser is resized.
How I could do this?
Here is what is in head:
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<!-- Bootstrap -->
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css"/>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</head>
I think you have included bootstrap-responsive.css in your html. Remove it! and then you can set your container to be whatever you want. width: (x)px;
