Does anyone know a place near London that will make replacement bonnet and boot in red carbon fibre and how much it is likely to cost and the associated weight reduction? Also, would it make the boot easier to break into? I feel like those two parts are pretty heavy and slowing the car down a lot.

Starting from 0 really isn't the Monaro's speciality. I've done all sorts to mine and my best 0-60 at Santa Pod is still around 4.9 or so, you really can't get these things moving quickly from a standstill 
It does sound like a 3.9 diff may well actually give you that extra shove in the back that you're chasing. Personally I haven't experienced the difference, but I have heard many good things.
Put it this way, it'll make a night and day difference for the money compared to a 6kg saving on bonnet weight for £1,500 worth of carbon fibre.
I see you have a truetrac diff, what was the cost and where did you get that fitted? Or did you do that youself?It does sound like a 3.9 diff may well actually give you that extra shove in the back that you're chasing.
