actually, my Catalogo Rapido is for the Alfettas. for the GTV, i have
what's on the Cardisc, which covers both US and Euro models.

ok, for clarification -- my street car currently has a glued in windshield,
which is in exellent shape, but which has no trim. i'm not anticipating a
complete repaint anytime soon; the paint needs some work, but not the whole
shooting match right now.

the parts car has the 4 piece trim set, so i guess it has a gasketed
windshield.

so i guess what i need to do is learn how to get some collection of bent
two piece trims sets to work on the windshield i've got.
