Recommendations for a clean install of the Kev mod?

My Kev mod is in the post and I'm looking forward to its arrival. In the meantime I'm trying to figure out the cleanest installation. I'm looking for 3 things: a strong, weatherproof connection, a clean look that doesn't look too DIY and finally an option for simple removal.

Kev ships a terminal block connector, and I'm sure that's fine. If the mod is removed, I guess the original wires are just spliced, soldered and protected with heat shrink. However, terminal blocks don't look that nice, and are quite exposed to the elements. Also, splicing and heat-shrinking the wires doesn't make it easy for a new owner to refit a Kev mod if they want to.

So, I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas for a good, clean installation that can be easily removed leaving the wires in a condition where the mod could easily be refitted.

For example, I'm looking at these connectors.

Would these make a neater job than terminal blocks? On removing the mod, one could then leave a single connector on to join the original wires, meaning it's a simple unclip for anyone wanting to access the wires to refit the mod in the future.

Any other ideas?
