How To Take Off Engine Cover?

Looking at the engine in my new Jag, I'm wondering what holds the top engine cover. There appears to be no visible turn screws, perhaps it just snaps on. Anyone know how this is held in place?

I thought it snaps on, but better wait for the experts. Is all the covering really needed?

Engine cover

Cover snaps on to 4 round top stand-off post. I looked in the XK handbook but it doesn't cover it. Had mine off a couple times.

Just as stated, it snaps/pops on. Had mine off and painted the lettering silver.
