The first one is spelt "insouciance", and yes basically means "carefreeness", "happy-go-lucky attitude".
"rage" can mean "rabies", though it can also just have the basic meaning of "rage".
And yes, "carrosserie" (with double "s") refers to the bodywork of a car, either literally to the bodywork itself or to repair work carried out on it-- so e.g. the act of repairing dents after an accident would also be referred to as "carrosserie".
It can also actually refer to the metal casing of an appliance such as a fridge, washing machine etc.
