It's much more practical to leave it removed. On my restoration, I decided to leave most everything stock and fit the timing belt cover- but what a pain. My car is a Mark I and uses the one piece cover. It took me a couple hours to fit, most of that time is spent shimming and making sure the cover will not touch the belt. It's far from exact as original! Complicating matters, there's no way to see what's going on underneath, which I find annoying. I plan on leaving it for a while, but more as a novelty than anything else.
