THe very first timeI took these off, I had a nightmare getting them back on (ended up usnig a knife to jimmy them back in !).
I took all 4 off over the weekend to paint my calipers, and I can say that they took less than 2 mins to put them all back on - I was shocked - lol
Put the 2 clips in at the front (plus the rubber bit), then slowly push the cover back onto the rear clips, then smack it with your palm !!!
Worked a treat

LOL, we've all been there changing a wheel in the pissing rain and eventually having to pull out the grommet with the plastic safety wire so that you can drive home and fit it later.
God knows what the designers were thinking. I found if you clipped it in at the front and then pivoted around pushing the back up and then push the clips up with a small flat screwdriver they just clip into place.
Why could the designers not have them sliding in ???
My new R32 has sideskirts and it doesn't have any stupid covers

Where do you boys jack up from using the trolley jack?
I tried to get the trolley jack under the FR+ and ended up using the scissor jack on the side and then jacking up at where the shock meets the wheel (wishbone?) with a piece of wood on the end of the trolley jack! Ended up jacking with the TJ, the the Scissor jack and then the TJ again...gotta be an easier way of doing this!
