Different country different variant. Big job and deep pocket.... You change the bumper, the grille also need to buy... your V1 one radiator area same as V2? Alot of things comes into consideration, labour? spray paint? 2009 V2 headlights and rear tailamp different also, change all? Given the risk, most of us will not try....if you got time and cash and a bk workshop that is helpful, by all means.... Go JB go do custom lor....

Sorry for being negative again....
LTA pass not or not we do not know....
But the thing is how much weight saving can you get out of the bonnet cutting and the cost of labour....

1) Change CF bonnet 2) Downgrade rims or go for lightweight rims 3) Change the whole suspension system to coilover 4) Change to Sports seats 5) Dun install too many gimmick in engine bay... 6) Steering wheel change aftermarket 7) Take out all unneccesary things in the boot 8) Dun install too many bars 9) Stock Caliper too heavy? Change BBK(mini pot)...
Air scope bonnet for open pod no need, go route CAI somehow to the grille or something...

Have you wonder the cost involved where you can get a newer car with better and newer engine? Moreover Singapore got this 10-yr lifespan. Might as well change V2. Tio bo?

floor sound proofing remove. firewall behind dash board remove.some screw can just tie one remove one. try to throw away as many weight as you can. less than 900kg the car got power.
