Basically, if your intent is to show a true mirror, you need to photograph it that way. Photoshop cannot show you the undersides of a 2-D photo, which is what a mirror would show.

You might be able to get something close if you use copies and reflections of parts of the car, but it won’t work as a mirror. Try for a shadow instead … that is doable.

If she did post something, it must have scrolled off the forum. A search on her name brings up only this thread.
