Welcome to the forum cwreinhardt,
I've moved your question from Jaguar Forums Advice / Feedback & Suggestion Center to X308 forum. Members with the same model and wheel pattern may be able to help.
I presume it's this type?

I have a 2003 XJ8 with the small center caps -- the tabs always break! I used some double sided tape that is used to stick emblems/badges on cars. I put the tape in the hole, around the perimeter, and then carefully put the center cap on making sure to keep the tape between the center cap edge and the perimeter of the hole. I held it in place for a while and it seems to be sticking just fine -- after nearly 2,000 miles and through all kinds of weather (hot, dry, humid, rain, etc.). Don't know what the larger center caps are like, but this method might be worth a try.

What's the best way of removing these caps without breaking the tabs?
I am thinking of ordering some of the Mina Gallery ones as a little dress up.

I'm not sure there's a good way to remove them without breaking the tabs, except to be very careful and to do it from the inside. The tabs just seem to get brittle and break off no matter what you do -- poor design, IMHO. I have an old Mazda Miata that has BBS wheels and the center caps come loose and fall off and cost a fortune to replace -- so it's not just the Jaguar.
