That looks strange. Is this also genuine ford?

Also forgot to ask if anybody has any info about my car but with it being a one owner and not a club member then maybe its not been seen about before. The guy lived in Hornchurch Essex and the car was from rates in Essex. Cheers.

That's right... This is the Swiss homologated spoiler by Eggenberger... The trailing edge (from where the split can be seen) is made out of foam... The panel with the slots as described by COZZFATHER is fibreglass.

Not visible is also an additional safety retention wire that attaches the middle "post" to the bootlid in case the spoiler comes off, in which case it' s supposed to stay "attached" to the car...

I believe these were made by Eggenberger from genuine Ford spoilers. Bit of a butchering job on good spoilers IMO but I guess they made good business out of it as you see quite a few around over here.

This one can also be homologated in Switzerland but not sure who makes it... It's fibreglass as far as I know. There is a writing on one of the corners and it says "Pistard". Not sure if it's a brand name, trademark or something.
