Building a transportable mirror wall

Hi, I've been trying for months to construct this to no no avail. I'm essentially trying to create a "mirrored wall" about 4'x8' (x2) that i can deconstruct and transport easily. The idea being that a model would be in a mirrored corner, giving off two sets or more of reflections.

I've tried mounting mirrored posterboard onto foam corr but when paneling them, instead of the reflections being seamless, they oddly reflected off of eachother.

I tried metallic insulation, too splotty. Tried chrome car wrap, but it came extremely wrinkled to the point where it was impossible even with heat to straighten it.

Any tips on this would be incredibly helpful. My only other thought is if a sign shop could potentially create this for me? I'm sure they'd have reflective paper. Problem would likepy be price. Ideally, I feel like the car wrap idea would work if it were tightly rolled and not incredibly wrinkled.
