Hardox comes in 3.2mm to 150mm thicknesses.
3.2mm only comes in the Hardox 450 grade, and is a bit more expensive then the slightly thicker stuff.

I bought my 3.2mm 450 from RPG Australia . Was roughly $400-500 for a 2500 x 1000 offcut, I think a good $100 of that was the cutting costs.

4mm/5mm/6mm is a fair bit cheaper as it's more commonly used.

You might be better off just getting Oxycut to do your panels from the thinnest bisalloy 400 (5mm or 6mm?). That way you can have all the bits delivered via courier and you can just join them together and weld them into a frame like Dylon does.
