Could upgrade from 105 to Dura-ace. Don't really see the point myself though as youve got a cracking bike there as it is. A bit gaudy but cracking all the same. Maybe a Ti saddle?

Or perhaps some extras like clothing and stuff (assuming this as its in the beginner category).

Probably not what you want to hear, but have you had the bike serviced recently, or is one due? Only reason I mention this is because I know my Felt deserves its first twelve month service in April and its quite feasible that the chain/ chainring/ cassette may need replacing, which could be a noticeable chunk of your 'upgrade money.'
Have you already got a turbo trainer / rollers and a heart rate monitor? I expect you probably have, if so its got to be a wheel upgrade, if you are that keen a cyclist

A nice bike indeed!
I don't think you need to add anything although aero wheels would probably make it look like a real TDF pro-machine (appreciate you could only buy one with £350 though).
Perhaps you should buy something pratical like the Garmin Edge 305 - something I'm thinking of getting this weekend.0 -
Wheels...
...and then a respray (unless you've got the matching team strip of course!)

I agree aabout the colour - but then I'm no fan of green in any shade. I'd change nothing, just ride the bike.0
