I hope your full dash cap fits your GTV-6 better than the one I bought from
the Alfa parts place in Utah (forgot their name) fit mine. It was a full cap
and it was so small, that it didn't fit anywhere. I ended up buying a custom
carpet dash pad from IAP, and in my estimation, its a much better solution.
Not only does it fit marvelously (it even fits between the dash-top vents
and the dashboard so that the vents can still be rotated), but it was easy
to attach using simple Velcro (although they don't give you enough) and it
looks good as well as completely eliminating that horrible glare from that
steeply raked windscreen.
