Standard side covers are my next step. Honestly though, the special II side covers do not bother me with the standard seat. Yeah, the top cover edge does not perfectly follow the seat... but most old English bikes did not have perfectly parallel side covers and seat bottoms either... so it looks OK to me.
Then maybe an 18'' rear wheel. After that no one will ever know it started life as a Special II!
Its actually a Harley Davidson color... but I don't know any more about it than that. A friend of my Dad's is a painter, and he bought this color to fix a Harley gas tank for one of his customers. He had some left over paint when he finished the job, so he gave it to me. I still have it, but there is so much blue paint on the label I can't read it any more. There is definitely enough left to do a set of side covers though.
