I thought you needed the STi heater controls as the UK cars are recessed where as the STi's are flush with the rest of the trim (I'm explaining it badly, a picture might help..)

OK,made a start last night, wanted to see if it could be done before ordering the double din this week,
Sorted the heater controls, currently they mount behind the mounting bracket on a UK car, ours now don't, they mount in front of the panel, had to get a junior hack saw and trim the lugs, but now fit's flush with the back of the heater panel.
Must state here that even though I have rimmed the panel, I can still go back to single din if needed & you would not be able to tell the difference
I'll put up some pics as it progresses, my only concern is how to secure the main unit, but sure I'll sort that, need some wire to extend the 3 switches in the console, but again, should be an easy enough task with wire, soldering iron and heat shrink
