one of previous owneres made up some pvc covered aluminium trim to go ov the edeges of the tub, photo shows underside next to where it fits.
how do I attach them to the tub? velco/glue/silicone sealant or those hiddne plastic trim thingies (where do you get them from?)

Plastic clip trim thingys available from Woolies. Alternativly, use a roll of male & female Velcro, you'd be amazed how well it holds things!
I'd love to say PU Adhesive but I can as it's too permanent - I prolly go with the Velcro
what do folks normally put along the tub sides? (approx width 3 cm).
Is there some lighter plastic/rubber trim that can be glued?

Glue it on with PU if you dont intend removing it in a hurry.
I made mine from some D shaped wood and covered in vinyl, stuck on withPU and still there despite being stood on regularly getting in and out of the
car.

PU is polyurethane. It is a black (usually) rubbery adhesive that comes in tubes like silicone sealant. It is very sticky and can be used to bond metal to fibreglass etc. The gooeyness means that it can fill gaps like a sealant. The rubberyness means that it can withstand vibration, unlike some epoxys, and it sticks to just about all non greasy things.
My floor is stuck on with PU and some rivets. My GRP pannels are bonded on with just 1 or 2 rivets where they can't be seen. My front cycle wings are stuck on with just PU. It is remarkable stuff but it doesn't wash off your fingers once dry.
