ILS APP in VMC

Hello,

Just got a question about an ILS APP which I hope someone can answer:

I am a PPL and will be doing a radar vectored app into Edinburgh in the PA-28 next week (subject to traffic).

During my training I done some ILS procedures with my instructor and I am wondering if I would be able to fly the ILS GS LOC into Edinburgh but not using the foggles and in vis which meets VMC conditions? Am I allowed to do this on a PPL licence as I do not have an IMC nor IR? I have heard some PPL's say they have done this however I'm not sure if this is allowed or now.

If it is allowed, would I request vectoring for an ILS approach to remain in VMC? (although doesn't this slightly contradict each other?)

Any advice appreciated.
