c4s's are well behaved on ground clearance. you should be fine.

No problem on the lower level. If you go on the upper level, you'll be OK entering the train on the ramp, but coming off the train you may ground out the front lower lip spoiler.

The staff at Eurotunnel are quite used to sportscar owners asking to go on the lower level.

found the Eurotunnel guys to generally be very helpful and considerate - even with less expensive cars - they treated my TVR S3 with great care and even checked the exhaust clearance (an issue on these cars).

My 993tt has no problems on the lower level, even with the front being slightly lower than standard.

The worst hazard is actually the speed bumps on the way from the service area to the trains. They stick low cars on the bottom, there's more or less no ramp at all - even my Ultima was fine last year.

I had mine on the other day with no problems. Beware the irritating speed humps just before you line up to get on. They shaked the crap out of the car and I think are there to slow you up so they can get a nice snap of you plates.

If you let them know you have crap ground clearnece they will hold cars behind you to allow you to take your time as well.

I had no problem in my 993tt at M030 ride height. One think I found handy - the rear track is so wide compared to a normal car that there is very little clearance between the rear wheels and the mini-kerbs inside the train. I angled my 2 wing mirrors as far down as possible so that, as I trickled along the length of the train, I could make sure that my rear wheels and tyres were not threatened. (Helps also being on SO2s with their rim protecting shape).

Have fun.
