Dez's Minis - OMC

26/08/2026

A classic Mini doesn’t need to be overdone. Sometimes, it’s the subtle upgrades that make all the difference. 🔵
This one came into Dez’s Minis for a tasteful transformation:

🔹 6J x 13" wheels
🔹 Mini Special arch kit
🔹 9" front disc brake upgrade

A wider, tougher stance while keeping the timeless character of the classic Mini intact. And with the 9" disc setup, it doesn’t just look better, it stops better too. 👌

Same classic Mini. Elevated.
