Im also putting white grips on it and painting the bike black, and getting new Bianchi decals to put back on it, then also the fenders and a rack and i think she will be all set!
If the original paint is in nice shape you will never do much better than this unless you have a professional repaint it and many will tell you that red bikes go faster...
Aero levers would be a nice upgrade as they are often more comfortable and will improve your braking... if you have not been riding a drop bar bike it does take some time to get used the position as well.
