Fitting snorkel to 04 Gu

I have just picked up a safari snorkel and intend to install it tomorrow but have come across my first problem already. The main body of the snorkel will cover most of the "patrol" badge stuck on the side but I think the "ol" will still be seen. Does this badge normally get remove and if so how? Are the letters just glued on?

I am worried if I just pull the letters off you will be able to see the marks where they were.
I don't expect to have too many problems with the rest of the installation if its anything like the GQ but any hints gratefully received

Cheers Jim
