If you mould the guard (but leave it intact), you may find it fouls the tyre.
Cutting the front of the mudguard off seems a little drastic (not to mention counter-productive).
I'd trim the guard where it meets the forks. Depending upon how much you have to remove, you might need to bodge a stiffener to prevent the nose drooping.
