No offense but yours might be Daz, with all the ICE and 17's on it, but then on the other hand I don't think there as light as 1000kg odd?

Will do abit of digging around....

Adam wrote 1016kg, so I wasn't sure if it was as light as that!

Did look and see 1080 kg tho mate, not too heavy then really! Easy to get under 1000kg!
