Hi all,

after a bit of advice…  I’ve got a C8 RS6 with a Maxton body kit on and I’m thinking of booking the ferry either from Poole or Portsmouth. I’m a bit concerned that the car with the kit on will be too low? And will scrape etc.  Or am I worrying about nothing! 
 

thanks in advance

It might scrape. Have you researched the ferry you're going on. Or speak to ferry provider regarding ramp angles 

I spoke to Brittany ferries and the person I spoke to didn’t really know. He just said ‘we have Ferraris and Lamborghini’s etc who are able to get on so it shouldn’t be an issue’. He also said to mention it when checking in at Poole. 
Think i’ll do that and keep my fingers crossed! 

Make sure you creep slowly onto the ramp so you can stop at the first scraping sound.

Hello James,

The answer lies with you measuring the ground clearance you have, and passing that information on to the ferry company/ies as you seem to have done (with just one?).

If there is a need to notify at the time of booking in, then expect to be at the end of the queue, or it not, subjected to frustrations from following vehicles as you  delay them at boarding! 
Regards,

Gareth. 

If it was CalMac, good luck! 

I’m sure will be fine, as long as departing pier has height adjustable ramp to deal with tides.
