Ouch.
Not the same or nearly as serious, but had a "somewhat" related experience.
Took the 8 on a long road trip down to Switzerland / Italy, and on the deristricted autobahn I started hearing some awful flapping noises below the car past around 120mph, which while isn't devastating, was slightly disappointing as having given the suspension and tracking some serious tinkering the week before, I'd been looking forward to seeing what it could do!
As I arrived in Zurich, a friendly motorist flagged me down and told me that "a bit of your car is hanging off the bottom and dragging along the road". The ****s who did my tracking hadn't fastened the undertray back properly and it had dragged all along the autobahn and shredded itself to bits. A few cable ties and spare screws sorted me for the trip, and a new undertray after.
No bodywork damage like you'd described, but why people can't have enough pride to fasten things up properly is beyond me.
