Instrument Procedures for PPL Holder?

Hi all,

I am a PPL and Night Rating holder, building hours towards the commencement of the CPL/ME/IR. The goal is Airline Pilot and always has been, and therefore want to utilise my hour building to aid confidence and proficiency for when I start the advanced stages of training.

I fly out of an airfield located in uncontrolled airspace, with an ATZ and LARS service. Fully equipped with ILS & NDB approaches. Whether frowned upon or not, I have used Flight Simulators for years, conducting many Instrument procedures.

Question (assuming VMC conditions, limited to no traffic, an operating LARS Basic/Traffic service):
As a PPL holder, could I request a vectors for an ILS approach, despite not holding a IR or IR(R), purely for the purpose of practise?

I hope this is not a silly question.

Many Thanks
