A brief synopsis.  The size of the mirror needed depends on the size of the 
screen and/or the distance of the throw.  Then the size of the filament and 
brightness of the source must be considered.  Two cheap solutions.  1) Seek 
out unused ferreotype plates at old-time photosupply places.  You never know 
what they've got in the basement.  Clean and polish with the finest grade 
chrome polish you can find.  Fairly flexible and very unbreakable.  2)Go to 
a commercial supplier of architectural plastics and check the odds and 
ends/scrap.  Mirror tiles come up to 16"; locally the odd lots go for a 
coupla bucks.  Try to find ones that still have the protective film. I'll 
try to expand on my technote at http://MasterWill.blogspot.com
