Planning my first trip abroad with the CSL in April, to the ring!
Biggest worry isn't stacking it on the track, it's the ferry and damaging front splitters.
Am a paranoid, or should I get the tunnel and pay the extra £80

Can't speak for the Dover Ferries but did Hull - Zeebrugge last year for Le Mans and had no issues. There was plenty of low and fast stuff on the same boat and none had issues.

No problems with the Dover > Dunkirk ferry.
I've also taken the CSL on the Hoek of Holland ferry and a small ferry with an angled ramp in Scotland with no issues.
You should be fine.

I had problem on ferry back from isle of mann. I ended up reversing on as splitter caught.

IOM SeaKat @ Liverpool Dock is a no go with the CSL.
Splitters ground out

Nope just before unfortunately. With work travel only weekend I could make so going for a weekend blast to open the old girl up a bit before the warranty ends!
Going to risk the ferry. P&O booked. Will get my passenger to be on splitter watch

No issues at all with the ferry and CSL.
They are all pretty good at getting you on without issue. They will have seen it all before.
Just remember to lock the car with the key it's self and not the push button. You don't want that alarm going off the whole trip.

hull ferries are fine. Had teh CSL on the rotterdam one with no problems. A CSL isn't that low compared to some cars

Pop the splitters off if your worried. Stanley blade and new plastic rivets :thumbs: could save you some cash if you did hit them

I've used the ferries and it's not been a problem for me.
Although never let your mate drive your Csl onto the top deck of the tunnel train as the wheels can catch the kurb 😡😡😡😡. It was a good excuse to get them refurbed 👍🏼
