Mike17 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Morning all, Has anyone taken a kitted supra on the P&O ferry from Dover to Calais? We're going down to Paris but not entirely sure if the supra with actually drive on or get stuck?! the front bumper is standard and is has a rear kit bumper but it always seems to be the side skirts that scrape on things so not sure if we will get it on or get all the way down there to find we can't actually drive on! Thanks dudes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 We're all taking the EuroTunnel train when we're heading to Rotterdam via Calais. No issues there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Sod the ferry mate. The tunnel is pretty awesome. So quick and easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike17 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 We are going down with friends who are already booked on the ferry so we want to go with them, bit nervous about friving all that way to find it won't go on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Depends how low your bumper is and how far it sticks out at the front. Mine went on with a Do Luck, but it was VERY tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front bumper is stock, the op says its the skirts they have problems with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Skirts should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I got my car on the Isle of Wight ferry with stock front and OEM side skirts. There will be a sweaty moment, but it should be alright. Just don't sue me if it isn't, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Do the ramp angles vary depending on what time your getting on the ferry (high tide low tide) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think they do, but not much, as the design of the ramps compensate for the tides. I've been to the Isle of Wight a couple of times, and never a problem at any moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 From what im reading if you contact the ground crew when you get to the terminal they can radio ahead and adjust the ramp angle for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't sue me if it isn't, though! I got on the IoW ferry with mine too. Just floored it on and it was all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike17 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks for all your replies guys...I think I might be a wimp and take the Audi just in case lol Getting way too old for all this modifying lark, I'm getting sensible (Uh Oh must immediately sort this problem!!)

Abz Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have been across the Ferry last year in my Supra with stock front bumper and OEM skirts, slightly lowered with a front mount fitted. The only bits which were the "ramps" are rubber material, I felt the front bumper slightly touch coming back to the UK, but it was pretty fine. Used the Eurotunnel the other few times, although slightly more expensive, much quicker and easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Unless you are silly low, you should be ok. My NA went twice without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
