You could try using the functionality of MSFlexGrid's MergeCells property of vertical cell merging instead of row grouping as explained in this article DataGridView Grouping in C#/VB.NET: Two Recipes. In this example, rows which belong to a group are joined visually using cells merged vertically - instead of using classical horizontal group rows.

protected override void OnCellPainting(DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs args)
{
  base.OnCellPainting(args);

  args.AdvancedBorderStyle.Bottom =
    DataGridViewAdvancedCellBorderStyle.None;

  // Ignore column and row headers and first row
  if (args.RowIndex < 1 || args.ColumnIndex < 0)
    return;

  if (IsRepeatedCellValue(args.RowIndex, args.ColumnIndex))
  {
    args.AdvancedBorderStyle.Top =
      DataGridViewAdvancedCellBorderStyle.None;
  }
  else
  {
    args.AdvancedBorderStyle.Top = AdvancedCellBorderStyle.Top;
  }
}
