I presume you mean the rears?
If so they are a straight bolt on, i've done it to my 3 Door a really good mod it stops you cooking your rear brakes out on track.

Because it was so easy to cook the rear brakes, I had my old 2wd discs glowing and that was giving it some stick on the open road let alone on a track.
Since changing to the 4x4 vented ones i've never over heated them even on track.

Cut them off if you want to remove them as you need to remove the hub as they are booted through the centre
Only 4 bolts to hold the hub in place but the shaft won't come out without undoing the big centre nut so it's up to you
I'm in the process of recoating and building up my spare beam so isn't a prob for me. So is it actually better to run without them then?! Won't bother if they increase heat temps

There's no real point in them to be fair they aren't dust covers as they are on the wrong side to stop brake dust going on the wheels.
They are splash guards to prevent water going on the calipers and disc's but aren't really that effective anyway.
Unless you're going for a concours original underneath i'd just bin them off.

2wd and 4wd are different shape.. As said 4wd are almost flat, these do have a different part no. But do generally do good money .. There is a good second hand set on the bay at £60 with 2 days left .. These will take 90-£100
this picture will show you the different widths of the disc and caliper
the black lines indicate the 2wd solid disc
the red lines indicate the wider 4wd vented disc and the wider caliper carrier to fit over the top and the wider caliper you will need to fit over the wider disc
the purple line is the back plate and everything is all the same as the extra width goes the other way
the 2wd disc is 10mm thick
the 4wd disc is 20mm thick so you need to use the wider caliper and carrier
they all bolt on exactly the same
i'm sure i posted this before but i was scuppered by the famous "server is busy" signal
