As you all know I am currently using my aunts Toyota as my car is being fixed.

However I noticed a fairly large crack on my aunts Toyotas back bumper. More like its cracked on the side and there is a hole now. How on earth do I fix it before she comes back?

Plastic weld it.

Just remove the bumper, take a soldiering iron and heat the plastic to melt with the other side of the crack. Do it on the inside and it should be fine. Even add a bit of extra plastic if you want to reinforce it a bit.

You sure you did it? I once went on a mission fixing a dent in my grandfathers car only to have him tell me later my gran had dinged the car. :eek:
