I'm going to be installing a single din head unit into the dash of my wrx.
At the moment it has a double din clarion setup in there. What options do I have to blank out the nasty hole that will be left behind?

If you wanted use a blaupunkt header unit, you also have the choice of a single din 5 disk changer togo in the other slot.

I'm also looking at similar options for mine. Does the Blaupunkt 2 unit set up actually fit. A ICE place I was at today said it didn't

The ICE place is wrong - see here .

The only thing to watch out for is to make sure that you get one of the blaupunkts with the removable bezel - IIRC some of the older range didn't fit.

Who'd believe it - a shop not knowing something?

lol. How can you say such a thing, Nick? I've been in several shops recently, and more than half of them knew something. One of them even knew something relevant

Just replaced my standard black double din unit in my 02 Sti7 with an Alpine CDA 7893R. Used the standard Subaru storage tray which cost £15 from dealers. having speakers upgraded this Thursday as I wanted to see if I could live with the standard ones but definately need upgrading. Should I do back as well as front or just the front speakers with Dynamat

Sideways,
yes it is, tape and cd.
Would love to say I knew how to use it! The only way I found to set the time was disconnect the battery at 11:59
Make me an offer on it and I'll see if I want to sell it.
