Default Bonnet, difference between uk and jap spec?

Looking to do a face light on my v2 sti import, from what i've read the sti bonnet are aluminium, right?
So by changing my bonnet how much will i be increasing the weight too?

Never weighed them Paul but have owned a UK car and an import and the steel UK bonnet was a fair bit heavier. Having said that, unless you're really looking into power to weight, it won't make a perceptable difference. Maybe a few KGs in it.

Cheers
