Caterham lowered floor

I've got a lowered floor on the drivers side of my S3 (not sure why it's called a lowered floor because it's higher then the other side) which is made from what I can only describe as aluminium waffle.
The theory behind this waffle section is for driver impact protection.

Where's the best place (a.k.a cheapest) to buy a sheet of this so I can cut out the passenger side?

The reason why I want to do this is so that when I carpet it the floor will be level and won't have the reinforcement bars poking through the carpet.

Hi there

Doesn't sound like a lowered floor as they ae definitely lower and no waffle......

What year is your chassis?

Sorry cant help with your exact query!

Cheers

Ian

Yes, that's it - honeycomb
Where's the cheapest place for it?
Or is there some type of alternative?

All I'm trying to achieve is get the floor at the same level. I'm not too worried about the weight.
