By making the nose split however you would run into an issue with the
trans-yellow headlamp piece. The only solution I can think of would be to
use two light bulbs to light-up both sides.

I've NEVER understood why Lego didn't make nose pieces split to begin with. • Then

windshields for the different nose halves.

If I ever make an 8-wide, it's going to be in a common color, so I can cut • <shudder>
2 6-wide nose slants apart to make an 8-wide nose.
