The F109 is a generic body and wings based on 2006-08 cars and it would be suitable for just about all of them. It's a mix between the McLaren MP4-21, MP4-22 and Honda RA106.

It only affects how the car looks and possibly how much room you have under the shell for wiring. There is no performance difference either way. The v2 is a nice car, enjoy building it. Check out our v2 resource page.
Even Tamiya can't replicate the side pods on full sized F1 cars with a body pulled from one piece of lexan. The detachable parts are the most sensible way to retain a scale look.
They do bring the back and sides of the shell in tight. Which can mean cutting material off to clear the chassis and wiring.
Aside from that the difference is you'll have to cut and fix the side pods on to the body. Tamiya supply small screws to do this. Some use super sticky double sided tape or certain glues to do it. Adds a touch of weight (not enough to worry about).
The Tamiya Ferrari F60 body also comes with that option. I find it easier to mask off a one piece body, rather than working out how three parts will need to line up.
Hope that helps.

Help needed
I need some help from someone, preferably somebody in California as the postage won't be too bad, I sold my FGX to a guy out there and was going to pick up a lower arm set today from someone at our UF1 Houston race but right when we were fixing to race it came a frog-strangler and everybody bugged out, I need to find someone with an extra stock bottom arm set, don't need the uppers, there are plenty of those in with the car, who can mail them to the guy I sold this car to, I'll pay for the part and the postage of course, but I just need the part to make this a solid deal on my part, I told him I would( the car has a repaired arm set on it that cracked but drives fine, but I told him I would make it solid) can anyone help me out? PM me and let me know, thanks.

yeah, that's gonna be my next option, just trying to avoid loading the guy up with so many uppers, car has the adjustable upper links, so the stock uppers aren't necessary.....

I don't have a copy yet, but the July issue of RC World talks about the vintage F1 scene in the US....

Well decided to apply the tamiya x22 clear on to the helmet and over the decals, result good and bad news good news it didn't affect the decals and is nice and shiny bad news airbrush was playing up and in some sections to much clear was applied and has caused fogging so needs rubbing down again.
