Recently installed mine, couldnt find instructions neither. I put heavy duty dble side tape on the lip of the diffuser, lifted the rear end, removed the nuts that hold the mufflers' up and stuck it on. I also drilled holes on each side of bottom end piece and used bolt for extra support.

It depends on the diffuser, but most install with 3M double sided tape.

I'ved had mine on for several yrs now without any issues using the double sided tape. Suggest getting the diffuser warm to comform to the C5 body shape & be sure to clean b-4 using the tape. Good Luck!

I’ve read that Norway is home to the most northern city in the world. Is that true?

That is correct , but the town (Longyearbyen) is located on the island of Svalbard way North of Norway mainland
Me and my C5 live in the south of Norway approx 1196 miles south of this city

I think these look a like diffusers are fine. But a real diffuer
means cutting the bumper and bolting the diffuser on,
and attaching the tray under the car.
Have fun and
Good luck
