How to display a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn without a combobox?

This might by a silly question, but I was wondering if there was a way to have a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn in my DGV, but instead of showing the ugly combobox, it is just a white cell - when the cell is clicked, the dropdown shows up.

My problem is basically that this is really ugly: this

How do you get around this? I am used to working in WPF, not Winforms. Is it possible to just hide the combobox, but have the cell function the exact same way??

ComboBoxes have three different appearances you can choose from. In this case you're looking for flat appearance. But if you want a beautiful datagridview you might want to check out PF Grid Toolkit. It goes for quite an affordable price.

NB: This page could also prove useful.
