Hi,

I just replied to Alessandro off-list, but having see your reply, I thought I 
might as well go on list with my answer/question...

I think a slight adaptation is still required:

cp <- paste(sep="","centre_plot",i) 
should be 
cp <- as.data.frame(get(paste("centre_plot",i,sep="")))
or coordinates(cp) should be coordinates(as.data.frame(get(cp))
because the coordinates() function asks for a data.frame object, where get() 
returns a matrix.

Then your get(cp)[z] is unnecessary, if I am right, but the character object 
for the file names need to be reconstructed.

So something like:

for(i in 1:500)
{
cp <- as.data.frame(get(paste("centre_plot",i,sep="")))
coordinates(cp) =~X+Y
proj4string(cp) <- CRS("+init=epsg:26911")
writeOGR(cp["Z"], paste(paste("centre_plot",i,sep=""), ".shp", 
sep=""),paste("centre_plot",i,sep=""),driver="ESRI Shapefile")
}

Hope this works. When I played around with it, it did....

A correction.
cp["Z"] should be get(cp)[z], to evaluate the string to a variable name...
