Apart from the cable which we'll take as a given, where have I gone wrong aesthetically?

Non-matching Shimano gruppo is undetectable at three feet? And saddle isn't period obv. but my favourite arse perch.

For £450 you'd want this all matched, and above tiagra spec. you'd want it to be matching, and detectable at three feet.
