Welcome to the forum!

Looks like a decent shooter - Since the sideplate is the rougher of the items on it, replacing it isn't a bad idea. Great you scored a matching sideplate.

Since the price paid was a shooter price, I would not go out of my way buying tons of new parts. But if you want to, look around for the right part to come along. The east german or russian plastic grips work well, however, many times they are not cheaper than some cheaper made wood grips...
