Any road-style cheap black stem, doesn't matter which (eg http://www.wiggle.co.uk/deda-logo-road-stem/) will be a huge improvement.
Colour ALL the orange bits black (except maybe the headset).
Good choice on the new saddle.
And then it will be fine. I would chuck some compact drops (eg Bontrager SSC - VRC) and road brake levers (eg http://velosolo.co.uk/tektro100.html) on it, and then you'd have a nice understated road fixed.
And if you ride it everyday, surely you'd want mudguards?
Also I vote that you put a bottle cage on it and go for longer rides.
