I'm trying to add text or add an extra dialog at the end of an NSIS installer. So, to clarify, when the install has completed successfully I want to show some information.

I've seen various examples that touch on it but none seem to actually present a solution.
Does anyone have any info that can help?

You are already using the MUI so you can just customize the finish page text to fit your needs:
!include MUI2.nsh
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_TITLE "Custom title"
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_TITLE_3LINES
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_TEXT "Custom text blah blah blah$r$nblah blah blah$r$nblah blah blah$r$nblah blah blah$r$nblah blah blah$r$n"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE English
And if that is unacceptable for whatever reason, you can create a totally custom page:
!include MUI2.nsh
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
AutoCloseWindow True ; Automatically move on from the InstFiles page
Page Custom MyFinishPageCreate
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE English
!include nsDialogs.nsh
Function MyFinishPageCreate
!ifdef MUI_SYSVERSION
!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "Title" "Sub-title"
!endif
nsDialogs::Create 1018
Pop $0
$NSD_CreateLabel 0 0 100% 12u "Blah blah blah"
Pop $0
$NSD_CreateLabel 0 30u 100% -30u "More blah blah blah"
Pop $0
nsDialogs::Show
FunctionEnd
If you want to display text directly on the InstFiles page you have to create a label control manually:
!include LogicLib.nsh
!include nsDialogs.nsh
!include WinMessages.nsh
Page InstFiles "" InstFilesShow
Var MyText
Function InstFilesShow
; Cannot use CreateWindowEx in a Section, must do it in the show callback
FindWindow $1 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT # Finds the inner dialog
System::Call 'USER32::CreateWindowEx(i$__NSD_Label_EXSTYLE,t "$__NSD_Label_CLASS",t "Text goes here",i$__NSD_Label_STYLE,i10,i100,i300,i200,p$1,p0,p0,p0)p.s'
Pop $MyText
ShowWindow $MyText 0
SendMessage $1 $WM_GETFONT 0 0 $2
SendMessage $MyText $WM_SETFONT $2 1
FunctionEnd
