I'm betting its a duct for an oil cooler - agree that it looks a bit "NC-ish".

Nah, the passenger side is blanked off - you wouldn't do one side only

I'm taking a guess but could be the cold air duct? The car might have the short intake ie. AutoExe. Would look great if the duct is made of carbon fibre.

Also anyone know what kind of side mirrors are they on the car?

I'm also intrigued by the canard thingy on the wheel arch end of the front bumper.

Someone has to know where these parts come from!

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Rev9 sell the rear spats, I'm sure they could get you the front ones

It's two parts. Rear bumper and under body.
