That's what I believed it to be until someone was trying to convince me that they were more like 770??

take it to a weigh bridge.  830 is only the "book" figure.

Just for anyone who cares. Took my g40 to a weigh bridge and it came out at 800kg dead. Have 4 steelies on so a standard g40 with BBS would probably be a bit lighter...

Probably heavier. standard / cheepo alloys typicaly weigh more than steelies.

Remember, 1 litre of petrol weighs about 0.7kg so the kerb weight will normally include for a full tank.

Adz, presumably you had a pretty empty tank when you weighed it (42 litres fuel is circa 30kg)?

My polo GT weighed 760kg with no rear interior. So add a charger, intercooler and additional weight and its getting that way.
