if so what mods would be required to fit this? as it would be quite a good kit to use if it were possible.

You will need new wheels and the Wilwood callipers are not street legal in Australia

You can upgrade your standard brakes easily and cheaply - Type 3 rear drums are bigger than than Beetle and are an easy bolt-on. Up front, DBA rotors and quality pads will get you stopping real good. Do a 'search' on here - there is plenty of info around
